The Gen2 Raptors have 3 MAP sensors and it’s highly recommended to use MAF cleaner instead of other products to clean them.

i installed a Roush CAI and the filter in the setup is washable and uses no oil. I know that many individuals prefer to keep the filter housing uncovered. However, i choose to utilize Roush’s housing cover because the filter remains clean for a longer period and, like the OEM setup, only fresh, cooler air enters the system through the inlet. When the housing is left open, the system takes in a lot of warm air that’s been heated up by the engine.
First posting for me. I purchased my 2018 Gen 2 back in Feb 2018. Mostly sandy beach runs for me here in Hawaii. Thanks for having me.

I'd really like to run the Volant with Donaldson filter as that's what heavy equipment like CAT uses. They say its a 100k mile filter. But having a few factory spares to thrown in when the stockers get dirty at $13/each and considering how easy they are to replace has me thinking.

Just a thought, and take it for what it is worth.

If you stay with the factory box and an aftermarket panel style filter it should get just as dirty as the factory filter during the same type of off road events. So if you are able to make it home and clean it that is one thing but if you are trying to do multiple runs back to back you would still need a spare filter. Bonus is that you could go home and wash both of them and start over.

One positive I could see with an aftermarket in intake would be a conical style filter with a pre filter. That way you could clean the pre filter on the run and put it back on.

Side note, it is difficult to find air filter manufacturers that list SAE J726 test results for their filter. It seems that most brands claim 99% filtration. 99% of what silt, sand, golf balls??
